Bottom post of the previous page:
Yeah it can pull up floor tiles and that busts the blessing.

I actually believe that defile straight up removes the blessing from tiles, even if it doesn't pull up a floor tile. I say this because when I played revenant I had a particularly determined chaplain. Using Defile in blocked hallways would free them up even in places where the floor tiles were still intact, and I got an overlay where the blessing was removed when using defile.

It does remove the blessing from all affected tiles, but it costs 30 essence and doesn't do anything to keep the crew off you while you're doing that, though it does only reveal for a little bit.

Defile is good. It breaks windows, flickers lights, opens lockers and morgue canisters, and also rusts walls. It's a really spooky spell. It'd be really nice if revenants could toggle their nightvision so they could really see the spookyness they create.

Jesus H. Christ did you assholes learn nothing from ninja. Invisible turbohitlers that serve no purpose except to ruin rounds is really shitty design.

They were giving you a welcome back party. Also, either an admin made one revenent and one happened randomly or an admin made two memeghosts which is even worse.

To be fair, it's really hard for revenants to get all the essence they need to do all of that.

Yes that. Or other way around, esword nerd puts you into crit, and revenant rolls up and executes you.

In case it wasn't clear from my meme arrows, the ghosts were working with the traitor. What better way to get infinite essence than to conjure up AOE stuns right before the esword kid rolls in and puts down any threats.
Apparently one of the revs was a traitor who turned in their TC.
My point was that two is game-breaking, one is still a cancerous tumor on gameplay.

Being RP revenant is pretty fun. I literally got the Warden to go to sleep alone for me to harvest her, and the HoS to nearly murder the HoP.
Of course I got found out (tbanks to a most hilarious bug), but I rather doubt I frustrated anyone, judging by post-round responses.

Have you tried walking more than 3 tiles away from the light?

The blight slows people down, and the revenant can trigger lights in front of you I guess.

Please stop giving out revenants like candy and make them rarer.
It's getting really old being literally grieved an entire round.

Revenants apparently spawn automatically after x people died. So you will have them every round. Which is fucking stupid.

Stop dying so much and maybe the station will stop attracting spooky space ghosts. You might as of well built the station on a space Indian burial ground.

Please tell me that is a joke.
Might as well spawn honk mechs instead.

Why are people so salty about revenants
If the chappy is a validhunter, they can just hide in a bag in the mourge and kill the revenant when they come to absorb the bodies

Meanwhile everyone else without a null rod gets chainstunned by the revenant.
"Get insulated glo--" no fuck you, they don't grow on trees.
"Smash the ligh--" great, then I can enjoy the broken lighting system.
We have revenants in almost every round now, side-antag my ass.
Let's turn the discussion around. What do you like about having a revenant in the game (while not being the revenant yourself)?

I love that I can poop on revenants with a null rod. It does literally 100 essence damage to them and hurts their essence cap every hit.

Except they won't because helping the murderer = more corpses = more essence to absorb.

Revenants shouldn't be able to move past people who are on a harmful intent. It makes them too slippery otherwise. Their EMP should be removed too.
